What … DMOZ … I though Google is way smarter than that…

The selection process is working fine now. I just used it.

Who's going to pay those people you wish to "figure it out"?
Who's making it one of those "awesome" links? Webmasters and SEO "experts" that don't understand, or accept, that DMOZ was not created and is not run by or for webmasters seeking links of any kind. That Google and the other SEs use DMOZ data at all is the doings of those SEs, not DMOZ.
If you have a problem with how the data is used BY THE SEs, don't blaming DMOZ for refusing to be what you WANT it to be.

Our website is arguably the number one for vacation rentals in rome, italy online since 1997. I've been trying to get listed on DMOZ since over 10 years now, no chance. If 10+ years are not enough to review a website then why take DMOZ into consideration at all?
I don't know if DMOZ is corrupt or not. But, clearly, they are focused on earning income from paid inclusion. That's a poor approach to anything that affects Google search results.
nomoz sucks, you have to pay for it
@neuronstorm wow now that is bad, google should ditch them
My competitor has a link from DMOZ and I've tried for a couple of years now to get in but I can't. It's totally unfair that backlinks from DMOZ are still worth so much ranking juice.
